Reviews for JaRay’s Grill and Lounge in Everett, WA
The staff is courteous and professional. The music and food is great.
Wow! Such a nice, new place! The decor is swanky but classy. The owner Darlene & her brother Herb are warm and welcoming. I... ordered red beans & rice and potato salad. It was awesome! I'm very picky about potato salad and this was SO good. They have afull bar with a cool & very pleasant bartender. They also have a DJ with a decent sound system. There are tables, cozy coucheswith tables and a pool table in the back. This is a great new find. Saturday, August 20th is Darlene's 50th birthday. Everyone'sinvited and they're serving up FREE FOOD! I know where I'm gonna be on the 20th. The lighting is upbeat and festive, plusthere's a dance floor. I almost couldn't stop myself from jumping up and dancing to "Brick House," She's mighty mighty, lettin'it all hang out! Read more
The fried pork ribs special was absolutely hands down the best pork I?ve ever eaten. It was a moment. The Mac and cheese and the... bbq bean sides were AMAZING. Great vibe too with live and outdoor music sometimes, and the people were great. I love it! Read more
I don't even know what to say about this place. Showed up Wednesday evening closed even though their posted hours say open.... Tried again on Friday, called first to make sure we didn't waste another trip. No answer. Go anyhow they're actually open andnot busy whatsoever. Place order but out of most sides so decide and still place order. Female who took our order was initiallyfriendly said she understood and placed our order. 1 hour elapsed.... Yes a full hour then only receive partial order. Femalethen claims that's all we ordered and that's all that they made and was very dismissive. Just don't bother with this place. Itmay be more melanin friendly but not worth the hassle of lackadaisical(not rude) staff and it shouldn't take an hour and 20 minsfor food. No explanation or anything and the guy who brought it out one item at a time all sideways in bag. At least they didn'tcharge for the last entree. Edit: Now that we actually tried the food. Definitely the closest thing to soul food around. Asmentioned above didn't get to try many of the sides because they're out. But as someone who doesn't typically care for beans,their beans and beef are FIRE!!! So all in all 4 stars for the food, two stars for time and screwed up order. Response toowner: I'm glad you were able to check your cameras but I too have timestamps of communication. The order was placed at 5:23 pm(to informs about your sold out sides) and walked out with last entrée at 6:31 pm, so like mentioned above more than a hour.After 30 mins of waiting at the bar ended up taking a seat at one of the booths until receiving last of the order. Not sure whattime repairs were started on Wednesday, but at 5:08 pm there was absolutely no sign posted. Or at least on door that we checkedyour hours on and there were 3 of us. As for the number of sides I didn't think that was even an issue just wasn't sure becauseyour website states one thing and then posted pics/reviews say another. Like I also mentioned there Read more
There are many great things about this place but it starts with the owner and staff welcoming you like you have known them for... years continuing with great drinks and topping off with the BEST chicken around. This place is my new favorite. Going back todayto try the gumbo and catfish Read more
Did not eat there but the after hours bar and dance was fun and without worries. 1 pool table and plenty of seating. The staff... were friendly and quick to serve. Read more
This place is pretty chill doesn't get busy at all...I have a few complaints.. the bar is not well stocked at all with anything... anyone wants to drink For God sakes they actually have wild Irish rose and Cisco as an option, With that being said the chickenis good The music is a good vibe ... I think this place could use some promotion and better drink options and betterbartenders ( asked for a Moscow mule and she had no idea what it was) We wanted to come for New Year's Eve but when we wentonline and saw the prices we opted out. This place is one of the few places that black people can visit and feel comfortable inEverett, So I definitely will be here On the weekends Read more
